Hi Tom I am a generate press (premium) and BB( premium user) brought Premium GP after seeing how often you reply to support questions, have not had to ask a question yet as a search reveals you have answered them all, You even made CSS simple enough for me to try! Many thanks, and BB guys a similarly excellent. Keep it up guys, this beginner appreciates it! and more than happy to pay for it!!!!

BB theme and plugin. In combination with the new Theme Builder, what more could you wish for. I come from a more code intensive theme and loved coding. Now I see the benefits of speed with the BB combination.

I’ve been told by SEO experts I know that using Genesis with BB results in a heavy code laden theme. They suggest it’s far better to use BB and its theme for clean code and fast loading pages. Your thoughts in this?

I use Genesis + Beaver plugin combo on personal projects and agency projects. I have not noticed any code heavy or slow issues as a result of this combination. Genesis and Beaver plugin , both are nicely optimized built on neat code foundation.

Do you have any quantifiable data to support the claim of Genesis + BB results in heavy code websites?

Generatepress theme is brilliant and the support is amazing. I focus mainly on content creation so I don’t have time to mess about getting all sweaty over coding. BB + Generatepress plus the add-ons is fast and effective. Love it!
